better+ and PJ Tucker are set to take over San Francisco for NBA All-Star Weekend 2025, bringing an unmatched sneaker and culture experience to Pier 70 from February 14th to 16th. Just a short walk from the Chase Center, the better+ All-Star Showcase promises exclusive sneaker drops, high-stakes giveaways, and immersive activations designed to make this one of the most exciting events of the weekend.
The highlight of the event is a challenge that could see one lucky participant walk away with a custom “Galaxy” Foamposite-wrapped 1996 Corvette—completely free. Contestants will compete in a test of endurance, keeping their hand on the car for as long as possible. The last person standing will not only drive away in the “Space Coupe” but will also receive a free pair of the Nike Air Foamposite One “Galaxy”, making for a prize package unlike anything seen before.
The better+ All-Star Showcase will also feature highly anticipated sneaker releases, with better+ partnering with EQL to offer location-exclusive drops. The Nike Air Foamposite One “Galaxy,” Kobe 6 Protro “All-Star 2.0,” and Air Jordan 1 “Black Toe” are among the most sought-after pairs available. Additionally, better+ x New Era will debut a special NBA All-Star Cap Collection featuring ten top NBA teams, with limited stock ensuring these pieces become instant collector’s items.
Beyond sneakers, the experience will be packed with activations that merge basketball, culture, and community. A Sip Lounge by Kendall-Jackson Wine will offer an upscale retreat with exclusive tastings and appearances from special guests, including LA Sparks’ Cameron Brink. A full-size basketball court, presented by NBL, will host courtside conversations featuring basketball legends Carmelo Anthony and Kenny Smith. Meanwhile, Ball Is Life x Nesquik will run high-energy competitions, including three-point contests, shootouts, and dunk contests, creating an arena-like atmosphere within the venue. Those more inclined toward digital competition can head to the .SWOOSH x NBA 2K Arcade Zone, where gamers will go head-to-head for exclusive Nike prizes.
To elevate the event even further, PJ Tucker is opening up an exclusive vault of rare sneakers, showcasing some of the most legendary Nike and Jordan releases in existence. For sneaker collectors, this is a chance to see pairs that may never be publicly displayed again. better+ and EQL will also offer games and challenges throughout the weekend, with select winners receiving special locker combination codes to unlock prize lockers hidden within PJ Tucker’s Sneaker Vault.
